Windows 10 not allowing you to postpone updates when it launched pissed me off enough to switch to linux for around 4 years. I came back for games, but the GPU market (and age) has pushed me back to consoles or just not gaming.

Check again Linux gaming, Proton/Wine is surprisingly viable now and the vast majority of games run without any issue.

I've heard Linux gaming is pretty good now with a native steam client and a ton of games that run natively thanks to steamOS

[-] TheYang@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

the ton of games doesn't run natively, they run well, but through a translation layer (wine/proton)

[-] erwan@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

To be exact it's not a translation layer, but a reimplementation of the Windows APIs and ABIs on Linux.

That's why there is no performance cost.
